Systemic amyloidosis manifested by gastric outlet obstruction.
Article in Clinical endoscopy, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Amyloidosis is characterized by extracellular deposition of insoluble protein fibrils that stain with Congo red application and appear apple green under polarized light. The presenting symptoms result from the involvement of many affected, nonspecific and generalized organ systems. Our patient was an 80-year-old woman with no medical history. She presented with a 2-week history of nausea and vomiting. An esophagogastroduodenoscopy showed erythematous and edematous mucosa on the antrum with pyloric stenosis. Histopathologic examination of the biopsy specimen showed the deposition of amorphous, homogeneous, and acidophilic material in the gastric mucosa. Amyloidal protein was proven by positive Congo red stain. A serum and urine immunfixation electrophoresis showed lambda light chain band. She developed symptoms of repeated greenish color vomiting. A follow-up esophagogastroduodenoscopy showed progressed antral obstruction. However, she refused further evaluation and treatment and was managed conservatively. She later died of disease progression after 34 hospital days.
